Chapter 14 The Prince Arrives
Jun Huolan sneered in his heart, this woman is indeed the most selfish and cruel person in the world.
"Mo Yunzhu will soon become the Princess of Lan. After all, you are her mother-in-law. I will give her some advice. She should not make a big fuss. Mother, you can go back to the palace with peace of mind after you have given instructions to your people. Just leave this to me."
"What if the news reaches the palace?"
"Then just say it was Nanny Gu's fault. The Mo family doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, and Nanny Gu is dead, so they won't pursue the matter any further." Jun Huolan said with a smile.
Concubine Hui looked at her son's pale face, seemed to feel guilty, and her eyes softened.
"Okay, mother understands. By the way, I will try my best to prepare more for your betrothal gift. Although it may not be as good as the dowry of the general's mansion, at least it won't embarrass you too much."
"Thank you, mother." Jun Huolan was not grateful. This woman was probably trying to show goodwill to General Mo and settle the matter.
"Huo Lan, everything is in the past. Now that you are back, you should live a good life and keep a low profile so that you can live a peaceful life."
"Okay, kid, I understand." Jun Huolan felt even colder inside.
"It's getting late. Mother, please go back to the palace first. I'll leave Nanny Gu to you." Concubine Hui looked outside and saw that the rain had stopped. Her mood instantly improved a lot.
"I respectfully send my mother off." Jun Huolan quickly recalled, "Ahem."
"No need, just take good care of yourself. By the way, take these first." Concubine Hui took out an exquisite small cloth bag from her arms, which contained some silver bills and gold leaves.
After saying that, he put it on the table next to the couch and left. Jun Huolan looked at the small cloth bag and almost bit his gums.
"Lock Madam Gu in the dark room and take good care of her. Don't kill her yet." Jun Huolan said to the secret guard.
There was a loud noise in the dark, but it soon returned to calm.
When Concubine Hui left, Nanny Gu was no longer by her side. The other servants and guards dared not utter a word, for they all understood that Nanny Gu had been made a scapegoat.
Hao Jiang only dared to come out after seeing the convoy leave, and immediately went to see Jun Huo Lan.
"How's Mo Yunzhu?" Although Jun Huolan got a reminder from Mo Yunzhu with a wink, he was still very worried, after all, so much blood had been lost.
Hao Jiang immediately said, "Your Majesty, I didn't follow you to the General's Mansion."
Jun Huolan's face changed, and Hao Jiang immediately said anxiously: "When Miss Mo got on the carriage, she told me not to follow. She said she was fine, but she was very angry with Concubine Hui, so she helped the prince vent his anger."
"Her injuries?" Jun Huolan frowned.
"The young lady said she was just trying to scare people. I don't know how she did it, but I can see that Miss Mo is really fine." Hao Jiang explained quickly.
Jun Huolan had many doubts in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart for what Mo Yunzhu did for him today.
"Your Highness, the princess feels sorry for you." Hao Jiang likes Miss Mo Yunzhu more and more as his mistress.
Jun Huolan glanced at Hao Jiang and sneered, "Hao Jiang, how long have I known her? I will never forget the pain."
Haojiang felt suffocated instantly.
The next day, Mo Yunzhu was still sleeping in her room when Jasmine knocked on the door anxiously.
"Miss, Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here with the old doctor."
Mo Yunzhu stood up suddenly. She didn't expect that the news would get out, but she had already prepared for the worst.
At this moment, Crown Prince Jun Xianhe was sitting in the main seat in the hall of the general's mansion.
His handsome face was not very good-looking, it was simply as gloomy as ink. He had lost all face because of the matter between Mo Yunzhu and Prince Lan, so he dared not go out.
What annoyed him the most was that Mo Yunzhu didn't even explain to him, and his father actually issued an imperial decree to marry her to Prince Lan.
But he originally thought that since Mo Yunzhu could not become the Crown Princess, as long as she begged him, he could still give her the position of concubine. After all, everyone in the capital knew that Mo Yunzhu and Prince Lan were framed.
And the two of them already had an engagement, if he still married Mo Yunzhu, even if she was a concubine, everyone would think he was deeply in love.
But now, Mo Yunzhu made a mistake, but he didn't even apologize, comfort or admit his mistake! Doesn't he have any face?
So when he heard his mother say that Mo Yunzhu was stabbed by Nanny Gu, he had an excuse and couldn't wait to bring the imperial physician to see this heartless woman.
"Your Highness, Yun Zhu is no longer seriously ill, so there is no need to trouble Imperial Physician Ji." Mo Tiancheng had never expected that the prince would actually come to the general's mansion.
He also brought along Doctor Ji, who specialized in treating the ladies in the palace.
"I'm already here, can't I just meet you once?" Jun Xianhe's tone was full of resentment.
"Your Highness, have you found the person who framed Yun Zhu?" Mo Tiancheng thought for a moment and changed the subject.
"It has been found. It was my concubine Liu who ordered Yun Zhu's maid Shaoyao to do it. She has been executed by me." The prince's words made Mo Huaiqing, who had just arrived at the door, curl his lips.
If Concubine Liu dies, then she will be one of the two concubines after she marries. It is not easy to get rid of one, and sooner or later she will be the Crown Princess.
"Huaiqing has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Mo Huaiqing's delicate voice rang out.
Jun Xianhe saw that Mo Huaiqing looked a little unnatural, and said in a flat voice: "Second Miss, please stand up."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here to see my eldest sister, right? Huaiqing will take you there." Mo Huaiqing said after looking at Doctor Ji.
"Huaiqing, your elder sister doesn't need to see a doctor." Mo Tiancheng said immediately.
"General, why are you so opposed to me seeing Yun Zhu? Does she not want to see me?" Jun Xianhe instantly became angry. "Even if she really doesn't want to see me, she has to explain it to me herself!"
Seeing that Jun Xianhe was so insistent, Mo Tiancheng had no choice but to let the prince go. He was worried because his daughter's injury was fake and he couldn't let the imperial physician see it.
In Yaoguang Courtyard, when the Crown Prince arrived, Jasmine and the others knelt down to greet him.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go in and report to the young lady." Jasmine said immediately.
The prince nodded, and Jasmine knocked on the door and went in. When she saw Mo Yunzhu nodded to her, she felt at ease and opened the door.
"Your Highness, the young lady invites you."
Jun Xianhe immediately strode inside. Mo Huaiqing behind him was so angry that his teeth itched. The prince kept saying that he didn't like Mo Yunzhu and only liked her, but now it seemed that it was all lies. He really had feelings for his elder sister.
"Yunzhu has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Mo Yunzhu was lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, and she spoke very weakly.
Jun Xianhe originally wanted to call her to account, but when he saw her miserable appearance, he was speechless.
"I will bring Doctor Ji to help you."
"Thank you, Your Highness. It's not necessary. The wound has been bandaged."
"No doctor out there is as good as Doctor Ji. I'll take a look when I tell you to. Don't you know that scars on women will be very ugly? Doctor Ji, please help Yun Zhu take a look at the wound."
"I obey your order." Doctor Ji is an old doctor in his fifties. He is highly respected and has great medical skills. He is deeply loved by the ladies in the harem.
He walked to the bedside and said with a smile: "Miss Mo, please let me take a look, so that His Royal Highness can rest assured."
